Hi,
I am a new Mutt user (just a few days). Sven tried to convince me to
switch from Elm time ago on comp.mail.elm, but I was using HP-UX at the
time and had a few problems, now that I switched to Linux I tried again
with a lot more success. But I still have a few problems that the
docs/FAQ didn't resolve, I hope someone can help.
I am using mutt 1.2.4i on a RedHat 6.1 using KDE and Konsole as a
terminal. I installed it with the RPM found in mutt.linuxatwork.at
For some reason the <end> key doesn't work, all the other keys, <home>,
<PageUp> <PageDown>, etc work but <end> doesn't. I tried to put a
bind pager \e[F bottom
which is what comes out with ^V in vi but it doesn't work either. Is this
a known problem in Mutt/Konsole/KDE/X ? Or did I do something wrong?
How do you get back to the spoolfile from another mailbox? As an Elm
user I tried "c !" and it works (and afterwards I found it in the doc)
but the Help lists it as "shell escape". Shouldn't it be listed in the
Help line at the bottom or at least when you invoke "?" at the "folders"
screen? Same thing for "<" that change to the "record" mailbox, while
">" doesn't seem to work as it tries to move to ~/mbox even if I set it
to a different file (unless I did something wrong).
In the help there is also a definition for <Tab> as:
"toggle-mailboxes" toggle whether to browse mailboxes or all files
but I can't understand what it means as I use <Tab> from the "Open
mailbox ('?' for list):" prompt to open the folders list (at that moment
"?" is listed both as "Help" and "list") and pressing <Tab> again brings
me back to the last mailbox opened.
Another thing: aliases. Is there a way to define a new alias without
having a message from that address? Or the only way is editing the
proper file? Or maybe what I am supposed to do is press "a" on any
message and then delete what comes up and fill in with what I want the
alias to be? Not exactly the easiest thing. And there is a way of
opening the alias list without starting a new message and pressing TAB
at the "To:" prompt?
Thanks for the Help.
Ciao,
GianPiero
